Hey,

Have the Torque tube apart and already have the new bushings in - but wanted to also replace the bearings....

How do you get the rear bearings out? (mn6 torque tube) I have both snap rings out but not sure where to go from here... I have tried to seperate the two pieces but am not having any luck. Is it simply a matter of pulling them apart? or do i have to remove the first bearing to access another snap ring or something? Just dont want to ruin it.

I have spent a decent amount of time searching the forum... have found this question asked, but not answered.

Thanks,

John

 

Are you trying to do this without the Service manuals? I've never done it, so don't start me lying! That being said, here are the instructions from the Manual. Must be about 40 pictures, so I'd need your Email address. If you have the Manuals, disregard this post, ok?

Driveline Support Overhaul
Tools Required
J 2619-01 Slide Hammer
J 24420-C Harmonic Balancer Puller
Propeller Shaft Removal




Important: Do not separate the input shaft, propeller shaft, couplings, or bearing housing assembly, unless required. These components are balanced as an assembly. Disassembly and improper assembly of the components may cause vehicle driveline vibration.
If the input shaft, couplings, propeller shaft, or bearing housing assembly must be separated, the components must be marked prior to disassembly. During assembly, the components must be returned to their original position and location.


Remove the clutch actuator and bolts - manual transmission.



Remove the flex plate and bolts - automatic transmission.



Remove the access hole plug, if required - automatic transmission.



Remove the snap ring (1) from the driveline tube.



Remove the rear bearing housing bolt hole plugs (1-3).



Install the J 24420-C and three M10-1.5 x 120 mm bolts to the rear bearing housing.
Install the J 2619-01 to the J 24420-C and separate the propeller shaft assembly from the driveline tube.



Important: In order to prevent binding, the propeller shaft assembly must be withdrawn straight and evenly from the driveline tube.


Remove the propeller shaft assembly from the driveline tube.



Remove the O-ring (1) from the front of the driveline tube.
Discard the O-ring.



Remove the slinger washer (1) from the input shaft.
Discard the slinger washer.
Remove the snap ring (2) from the input shaft.



Remove the bearing (1) from the input shaft.



Remove the input shaft, bolts, and washers from the front coupling.



Remove the front coupling (2), bolts (1), and washers from the propeller shaft.



Remove the bearing housing assembly, bolts, and washers from the rear coupling.



Remove the rear coupling (1), bolts (2), and washers from the propeller shaft.



Remove the bushing (1) from the propeller shaft, if required - automatic transmission.
Rear Bearing Housing Disassembly - Manual Transmission




Position the rear bearing housing assembly into a press. Apply pressure to the housing and compress the wave washer in order to remove the snap ring (1) from the hub.



Remove the snap ring (1) from the hub.



Position the bearing housing assembly (1) into a press in order to remove the hub and bearing assembly (2).
Remove the hub, with bearing (1) from the housing. The wave washer will remain in the housing.

Position the rear bearing housing into a press and remove the bearing (1).



Remove the O-rings (1) from the rear bearing housing.
Discard the O-rings.



Remove the wave washer (1) from the rear bearing housing.
Rear Bearing Housing Disassembly - Automatic Transmission




Mark the assembled positions of the flange and spindle.
Remove the nut (1) from the flexplate spindle.



Remove the hub (1) from the flexplate spindle.



Position the bearing housing assembly (2) into a press in order to remove the flexplate spindle (1).



Remove the flexplate spindle, with bearing, from the bearing housing.



Remove the snap rings (1) and bearing (2) from the flexplate spindle (3).



Remove the snap ring (1) from the rear bearing housing.



Position the rear bearing housing into a press and remove the bearing (1).



Remove the O-rings (1) from the rear bearing housing.

pics would be great if it is not too much trouble. reilinjw@hotmail.com

No - i do not have a service manual.... I may have already screwed this up - as i did not mark the shafts when i replaced the bushings. should i take the driveshaft (assembled) to a driveshaft shop for balancing?

 

buy a manual , it's worth EVERY penny
